At times I thought, oh, this is a little intense and, dare I say, scary, but it was actually systemic racism.

bees don’t like when you do gymnastics on they’s heads.

a Única coisa que me fez terminar esse livro foi a briar. literalmente. tirando ela e a zara, todos outros personagens são ruins. não no sentido de serem pessoas ruins (no caso da alix e do kelley sim), mas sim que não são interessantes e bem construídos.

a história começa interessante e eu achei que teria muita discussão em cima de tudo, mas 80% do tempo esconderam o que aconteceu e ficaram agindo como adolescentes. 

no final, foi uma perda de tempo. queria que fizessem um compilado apenas com os momentos em que a briar e a zara aparecem, e talvez assim eu recomendasse essa leitura para alguém. talvez.
